The Great Divergence: Why "Using AI" is No Longer Enough (And Why CLI is Replacing MCP)
TL;DR: I am currently experiencing a very specific, intense form of anxiety. It isn't about revenue, client acquisition, or market share. It is about a massive, visible fracture occurring right inside my own company and across the tech industry. There are people using AI to get 20% faster, and there are people using AI to get 100x faster. They no longer exist in the same professional universe. Furthermore, the very architecture of how we build AI agents is shifting again—moving away from complex MCP plugins and toward raw Command Line Interfaces (CLI). If you don't understand this shift, you aren't just falling behind; you are becoming obsolete.
